North Moravia
sv Mořic
The church of sv Mořic is an oddly mutant building – from the west at least – defended like a Norman fort and overcome inside by a thick coat of pink paint that makes the original Gothic interior difficult to stomach. It does, however, boast the Engler organ, the largest in the Czech Republic; an ugly, dark, wooden affair with over 10,000 dirty grey pipes and a fair few cherubs, it sounds better than it looks (there's an organ festival held here in early Sept). You can also climb the church tower (May– Sept Mon– Fri 9.15–11.45am & 12.30–4pm, Sat 9.15–11.45am & 12.45–4pm, Sun 1–4pm) for an overview of the staré město.
